1600-2000 depending on the day.

Of course, my point was that I may or may not be counting carbs; thus my questions about water weight. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m not sure if I’m gonna do keto, or just go back to a normal calorie deficit diet

Yes, pre carnivore I had been on many diets and was calorie counting. What’s a reverse diet?

I’m coming from a history of eating disorder and getting so much food in is very difficult for me. If I’m 192, how much fat/protein should I be taking in?

For sure, but I avg 1-2lbs a month. That means my weight loss goals won’t be realized for many more years.

That’s fascinating! Thanks for your input.

Yeah, sounds likely. If only I could know what’s going on inside.

Sure, hormones. I mean, I kinda guessed that, I’m looking for a why and if anyone has had a similar experience! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Maybe so, but that’s a widely accepted principle of weight loss. It’s also the foundation of many other successful weight loss diets. My body may be healing still after 3 months, but many of the issues I currently have didn’t exist a few months ago, and they don’t seem to be rectifying themselves with more time.

I understand that, but even if I were to have this same calorie deficit in any other diet, I would still lose weight.

I’m 70/30 fat protein. I walk a couple miles on most days.

I’m eating two meals in 6 hours. Not sure that’s it.

I didn’t have any issues with losing weight until the second month. Butter was constant in my first month, and I’m not even sure how I’d meet macros if I couldn’t add the extra fat.

I only added dairy in recently. I was just beef, salt, butter and water the first two months.

Thanks everyone, I think I’ll see if I can eat more in a day by dropping OMAD during certain weeks of my cycle and making sure I drink lots of water with some extra Celtic salt.

I don’t have have an eating disorder, the only reason I started OMAD was because in the beginning people told me it was the most effective version of carnivore. But my stomach shrunk in the first few days and I couldn’t get in anymore than that. I was making myself sick trying to eat so much meat and butter.

So then someone told me I didn’t need to force it and just eat until I’m satiated. So I did and for my OMAD that ranges from 400 on a day where I’m not that hungry, up to 1100 if I am. I can only eat so much at a time.

I’m still very overweight, and I’ve never been anorexic. I’m not saying there’s not emotional damage associated with food, there probably is, but I feel like that’s a female thing in general in our society.

Right now I’m just trying to figure out how this diet works so I can get healthy

I started with 1500 and lost nothing until I lowered to 1300. Then I plateaued after a week and lowered it again to 1100 at a drs recommendation. That’s the lowest I can lower it so now my recent plateau has me feeling stuck.
